Decided on a whim to pull using the free ticket and the two from the 300 lapis bundle. 1st pull - Medius That's cool I guess. I can grind up his 6* form for fun. 2nd pull - RAINBOW! Probably gonna get trolled again... Excuse me, I now need to run the maze nonstop for my shiny new Noctis!

Speaking of Noctis, I just saw that they changed Thunder Flask to break Mag/Spr instead of Def/Spr. Now he can cover all breaks, AoE. Pretty handy until we get WoL 6* (not that I have a Noctis anyway).

I've only got Noctis to 6* 66, but already I've stripped my poor CoD of his dual wield for the arena. Even when he can barrage again, there's just no comparison between that and Noctis double tossing his blizzard flask and Stopping the entire enemy team. Oh well buddy, you had a good run, maybe I'll get another Zidane someday and we can use you again  I actually just did some ticket pulls hoping for that, and promptly got Bediled for the first time in a while so lol probably not

If I had a Noctis, I would make a solo Noctis team just to make everyone really really sad when the AI decides to use a flask.

I'm sure a good amount of whales also macro TMRs so if they decide to ban them, that's a lot of income going away

Not sure what to do with my team. Currently Exdeath, Kefka, CoD, Refia and Cecil. I have no 5* base units, but I do have Bartz, Chiz, Ingus, Vaan and ExDeath#2 standing by. My Kefka is pretty weak, like 320 magic. My Exdeath has like 440 magic. I feel like I should get rid of Kefka and replace him with a full breaker. But then I am not sure if I should keep ExDeath since I've read that having a single caster is pretty useless. I could go with Chiz, Ingus, Cod, Refia, and Cecil but not sure if it is worth the switch.

I bought the 10k lapis box so I can mini-whale when orlandu comes around  not sure if I want to drop all these tickets on Noctis or not though. I really hate his attack animation, it looks bad.MohShuvuu posted:I'm sure a good amount of whales also macro TMRs so if they decide to ban them, that's a lot of income going away There's no way they'll ban macros in global if they don't add in an auto-battle system. Way too many people, even people who don't macro, would quit.

I laughed too much at this not to share it. It's a "chart" visualizing the pulls you'd get before you'd get Noctis on average. Just replace it with Charlotte heads instead. Don't chase 5*s kids.

HGH posted:Are the 5 Lapis Colosseum quests worth it? Nope, not worth it. 3 orbs is around 30 arena points which is an item from the arena board. I'd value a smart pot or megacite more than 5 lapis but how you do it is up to you.

Let's say you want to be sure you're going to get Noctis, and let's say he's actual a 0.5% chance to pull, as that link implies. Okay, that's 1/200. On average, you'd expect to have to do 200 pulls to get Noctis. Maybe you get lucky, maybe not. Some people get lucky and pull Noctis on try 3, or 5, or 10, or 20. But many people will get unlucky. How certain do you want to be to pull Noctis? 50%? That's actually earlier than you'd expect. After 139 pulls, you'll have just over a 50% chance of pulling Noctis. Coin flip. But say you're the dad from Charlie and the Chocolate factory, and you just have to have Noctis, costs be damned. 80% certainty? You'll need to do around 321 pulls. 90%? 460 pulls. 95% - the same rate D&D gives you not to critically fail? A mere 548 pulls. But no, you want 99% for your precious? That's 919 pulls. And if you're Jack Welch demanding GE's fabled six sigma success rate, 99.99966% certainty that something isn't going to fail? Only a 1 in 3.4 million chance of it? You won't get there until 2512 pulls.

lol, funny how these things work. I did 2x11 pulls, no Noctis. Then yesterday I got a wild hair up my rear end, another 11 pull, junk. I just did my half-price daily, crystal floating down is not blue and definitely not gold. Is it.... hah, yes. Well OK, then.

Anyway I still haven't put any equipment on my exdeath and he's still murdering dudes good in the arena  I guess I should just max out the other two I have and enjoy arena victories forever.

God this is driving me nuts I'm 4 lousy calamity gems away from a 6 star noctis and all I seem to get out of the maze are calamity writs or prismatic horns. I've got like 30 of each now and throughout the billions of runs I've made I caught 2 gems so far. It's like this drat game knows exactly what I'm going for and gives me everything but just to torture me into doing a bunch of refills to grind like a lunatic. Just give me my gems drat you!

You must be several hundred if not thousand dollars in with all the 5* bases you pull regularly. This can happen once or twice maybe but not on this regular basis. I just hope for you that you wont regret spending this much on a game later on. Happy for you anyway.

Golden Fang. Golden Agrias (#3) Regular Duane. That's all for today. The 300 Lapis holiday bundle might have to outright replace my daily draw for a while, can't really sustainably do both. I've only got the first half of Olderion left to harvest for Lapis.

It warms my heart to see someone like Fenrir pull multiple 5*s without spending (much) and then seeing posts by whales raging and quitting when they couldn't get Noctis with $500 of pulls or whatever. I will admit I was less enthused when I hadn't ever pulled a 5* myself, but now that I have grats
